New Delhi: India's number one enemy and a gangster Dawood Ibrahim has been tracked down to an island in Pakistan's Karachi. Times Now learned on Wednesday that Pakistan has provided the underworld don with a luxurious safe house at an island near Karachi which is guarded by the Pakistani coast guard.

The safe house also has an escape route mapped out which is made for Ibrahim to get out safely and travel to Dubai in a few hours if need be. Farooq Takla, who was arrested by the Indian authorities last week and a close aide of Dawood, was responsible for looking after the arrangements of his master whenever he was in Dubai. Takla is now being questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at their headquarters.

In an earlier information to Times Now, Dawood was living in a plush bungalow Cliffton in Karachi and whenever there was pressure from India or other international agencies, he was moved to one of the safehouses on one of these islands. The Anda islands are secured by the ISI and are in touch with him monitoring everything.

Farooq disclosed to the investigative agencies that Pakistani Rangers guard his family members and his posh bungalow in Cliffton Karachi. Only top Pakistani intelligence officers can remain in touch with him through satellite phone at a special frequency. In an emergency, there is also an escape route planned with a help of a special doped boat of Pakistan coast guard which can shift him to Dubai in just 5-6 hours from this safe house through sea route. At Dubai, Farooq Takla was assigned the responsibility to provide further required support to Dawood.

Dawood has also used this route once for his religious visit 'Umrah' with help of Farooq Takla. There were two attempts made to kill Dawood between 2003 and 2005 each by a local Pakistani gang and his rival Chota Rajan's henchmen. These attempts were foiled by Pakistani rangers.Sources inform, agencies to share this vital piece of information with CBI soon, after which CBI may grill Farooq Takla regarding the same.

Meanwhile, Farooq Takla is not co-operating the investigating agency and has been making an excuse for his degrading health. He is not ready to confess. During initial interrogation, he told interrogators that it is his wish to take last breath in India and get few yards land in Mumbai. He told agency officials about his family including wife and 2 sons. elder son is post graduate and left his job recently in Dubai. Younger son is still studying commerce in Dubai. He has been staying in Dubai since long as a taxi driver to cover himself. His mother is very ill who stays with his twin brother Ahmad in Mumbai.
